EveNSteve Celebrate Open House, Residency and More!
EveNSteve in their studio, Indian Hill Imageworks talking with guests about their most recent artworks, Tales of the Bittersweet.
Thanks so much to the lovely folks who braved the snow to attend our Holiday Open House!! We had a great time showcasing the newest works from our vibrant portfolio Tales of the Bittersweet. The mood was festive as we ate cookies, listened to holiday music, and answered questions about these works which are heavily influenced by fairy tales, glass writing, and the unique Cape Cod lightscape.
Last week we travelled to New York City and had the opportunity to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art's current Man Ray show, which is quite impressive. For the first time we encountered in person so many artworks that we had seen for years in our art history studies: Glass Tears, the Indestructible Object, his solarization experiments and an entire room devoted to his "Rayographs."
And lastly, EveNSteve has been accepted to a weeklong Pennsylvania residency in early 2026! We look forward to the opportunity to explore the local architecture and landscape, as well as delving into some of the local lore and history in the creation of exciting new artworks.

EveNSteve Featured Art New England Magazine
EveNSteve's work from the "1680 House" (aka the William Haskell House in Gloucester, Massachusetts) is featured in the current issue of Art New England Magazine! These works are part of our ongoing series "The Nothing There Is" and we have a wonderfully haunting story about our visit to this historic home to go with our mysterious images.
April Showers Bring May Artworks
Artwork in progress. Eve at night in Provincetown, Cape Cod standing still for a very long hand held exposure with my Minox Riga Spy Camera.
EveNSteve are excited to report that a recent trip to Cape Cod led to some fantastic nighttime images that we have processed, and will be finishing and sharing with you soon. If you'd like a peek at our process, Steve made a series of shorts over the course of our stay capturing some of our excitement and inspiration- to see them and more visit our Instagram @evensteveartists
One of the reasons for our journey was to make new works that may appear in this year's Hayfield Art Gallery. This is an art gallery in the hayfield across from our studio here in Pawlet, Vermont... What began as a solution to sharing art during pandemic isolation has become an annual EveNSteve tradition of outdoor art open to all.
Installation will begin in early May and we are shooting for the exhibit to be complete by Memorial Day 2025. Stay tuned for some monumental art- with some cool new surprise elements- in the Hayfield's sixth year!
At The 1680 House

In March, EveNSteve had the honor of staying in the historic, colonial William Haskell House in Gloucester, MA and creating a series of photographic artworks there. This house was built in the 1680s, is remarkably well preserved, and has an incredible and elaborate history. It was a phenomenal experience on many levels, getting to live in a space that transports one back in time. (Was it creepy? Yes, a little.)
Want to see more? Steve created a video about the experience for his YouTube channel Figitalrevolution which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/sxrncAIfdRA
But wait there's more! Our daughter Greta traveled with us and she is a vintage knitting expert and professional YouTuber. She took the opportunity to experiment with knitting by the historic hearth. You can watch her video here: https://youtu.be/gODaTgKt0Hc?si=bLHBY5DdbWUklry2
What is it like to be an Artist?
EveNSteve Provincetown, Cape Cod.
What IS it like to be an artist? Well...
It's like you're on the world's most boring rollercoaster- it's fun, but you're always hoping that the insane upside-down loop is just around the next corner.
It's listening to people tell you that they "don't have any room for more art." Like, what do those words even mean?
It's spending time filling out more forms and applications that you ever thought possible. (Didn't we become an artist precisely because we are shit at that?)
It's walking around feeling like Clark Kent: hiding a secret identity under your "normal person" costume.
It's making a last-minute three-hour trip to buy wax pencils, in "the right" red.
It feels like the dumbest job in the world, but also the most important.
